Picasso Jasper is such a beautiful stone! It became the centerpiece for an incredibly beautiful piece when I spilled my opals next to a box of pendants. I glanced down while cleaning them up, and I saw some that went so well with this pendant that I had to create a necklace with them. The chainmaille is stainless steel woven in the full Persian weave. Each bead is wire wrapped with stainless steel and secured. This is to prevent them from falling off due to the links opening.I hand chose the citrine beads and opals to accent the beautiful creamy colors in this jasper.I am always very careful and check each link in my chainmaille to be sure that they have no sharp edges or snags. This is a one of a kind piece!
